NIGP 99806: Ammunition, Explosives, and Weapons (Licensed Dealers Only), Sale of Surplus and Obsolete Items

NIGP 99806 Ammunition, Explosives, And Weapons (Licensed Dealers Only), Sale Of Surplus And Obsolete Items is an Item code under which state and local governments buy used and confiscated firearms, surplus ammunition, tactical equipment, and related weapons systems from licensed firearms dealers. Recent solicitations show purchasing bodies acquiring surplus inventory for resale or exchange, procuring live training and duty ammunition for law enforcement, and managing firearms trade-in programs to upgrade departmental arsenals. The code attracts law enforcement agencies at the city, county, and special-purpose district levels — police departments, sheriff's offices, school-district security services, and port authorities all appear as regular buyers. Issuing bodies include municipal police departments, county sheriff and law enforcement services, independent school districts, cities, and multi-jurisdictional port authorities, with repeat activity from Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department and the City of San Antonio.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Florida, California, and New York. Representative solicitations include Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department's RFB No. 27-0010 requesting bids on 306 used and confiscated firearms plus seven upper receivers for trade or swap toward Heckler & Koch MR556 A4 SBR rifles, sealed bids due October 14, 2026; Collin County Law Enforcement's IFB 2026-183 for live ammunition and less-lethal equipment under an estimated $84,250 annual contract with a twelve-month initial term and two optional one-year renewals, bids due June 25, 2026; the City of San Antonio's formal request for offer for annual ammunition supplies to the San Antonio Police Department covering training, service, and specialty ammunition, responses due August 7, 2026; Northside Independent School District's RFP for law enforcement firearms, ammunition, tactical gear, and services replacing an expiring contract; and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's two-year requirements contract (Bid #6000003336) for Remington ammunition delivery to five warehouses across New York and New Jersey, bids due May 29, 2026.
